Amanda Knox

I think, I mean, that was a huge lesson for me, was realizing that, like, the truth didn't matter. Like, nobody cared about the truth. They cared about the story.

And that still has this huge role. Like I'm still in conversation with that crazy story that was written about me. And and the fact that like my entire identity is now wrapped up in the death of my friend that I had nothing to do with. And I'll forever be defined by it because it's such a captivating story.

What he says, and it's very – again, it goes back to like what are we telling ourselves and what is the cognitive bias? And I think this is where it gets super interesting because winning – is interpreted in some people's minds as doing their duty, right?

In the same way that like, you know, journalists, if you ask journalists back who covered the case back in the day, they'll be like, well, we were doing our job. Our job was to sell the best story that we could to our audience. And right.
